B.C. premier expresses sadness at mosque attack as violation of sanctuary
VICTORIA — B.C. Premier Christy Clark expressed her shock and sadness Monday after a terrorist attack at a mosque in Quebec City.
Clark said mosques, like all houses of worship, are “sanctuaries of peace and reflection.”
“There is no greater violation,” she said in a news release.
“The world looks at Canada as a beacon of hope and peace, not just because of our diversity, but because we celebrate and embrace it. That is our greatest strength — and must not change.”
